Togo

Notre objectif, est de soutenir les initiatives entrepreneuriales, via des services non financiers et l’appui à une structure de microfinance, afin d’améliorer les revenus et le bien-être des ménages.

Pour y parvenir, avec nos partenaires locaux, nous soutenons l’entrepreneuriat agricole à travers la réalisation de diagnostics d’entreprises, l’élaboration de plans d’accompagnement personnalisés et la mise en œuvre de ces derniers.

Nous menons également des actions de sensibilisation et d’éveil de l’esprit d’entreprise et d’appui à l’élaboration de plans d’affaires, de tenue des outils de gestion, de formations, de coaching, d’appui technique. Un monitoring du soutien technique apporté et des performances entrepreneuriales est également mené.

Par ailleurs, nous apportons un soutien financier à l’entrepreneuriat. Cela implique l’accès à des micro-crédits, ainsi qu’à une caisse d’épargne pour les entrepreneurs, mais également des actions visant l’éducation financière des agriculteurs accompagnés.

Bolivia

Notre objectif est de soutenir les initiatives entrepreneuriales ou la dynamique entrepreneuriale et la structuration de coopératives, via des services non-financiers, afin d’améliorer les revenus et le bien-être des ménages.

Pour y parvenir, avec nos partenaires locaux, nous veillons au renforcement des initiatives économiques (agricoles ou non agricoles), grâce au développement des capacités de production et techniques commerciales.

Grâce à l’articulation entre la production verte et les circuits de commercialisation locaux, nous œuvrons pour un rapprochement entre le producteur et le consommateur.

Afin de promouvoir l'autonomisation des femmes, nous leur proposons des formations entrepreneuriales (autonomie économique), et les accompagnons dans le renforcement de l’estime de soi et de leur leadership (autonomie physique et décisionnelle).

Sans oublier l’utilisation des TIC dans les systèmes de production et de commercialisation.

Burundi

Our aim is to develop sustainable and equitable food and farming systems through an integrated approach that also supports entrepreneurial initiatives, particularly for young people and women.

To achieve this, we work with our local partners to bring together small-scale producers within farming organisations and support their structuring to facilitate access to markets and inputs. In terms of learning, agricultural and non-agricultural entrepreneurs are supported in developing and managing their businesses (drawing up business plans, management tools, etc.). Producers also have access to training to encourage a transition to agro-ecology and diversification of agricultural production. Agricultural support services to improve access to seeds, fertilisers, financing, etc. have been set up, as well as small units for processing agricultural products.

Our objective is to support entrepreneurial initiatives or entrepreneurial dynamics and the structuring of cooperatives, through the support of a non-financial business development structure or mechanism, in order to improve household incomes and well-being.

To achieve this, in collaboration with our local partners, we foster an organizational culture and enhance the technical and managerial skills of economic initiative holders, particularly through non-financial services and advice. We also support public-private consultation dynamics and facilitate access for producers to markets and financing.

Furthermore, we assist in the structuring and good governance of agricultural product transformation cooperatives.

In general, we promote social, sustainable, and inclusive entrepreneurship, particularly towards women, through initiatives such as functional literacy and a rights-based approach.

Our goal: To help improve the well-being of street children in Kinshasa and Bukavu and enable them to become socially and professionally integrated and reunited with their families in the long term.

To achieve this, we work with our local partners to meet the children's basic needs by offering shelter, food and healthcare to those who need it.

We provide them with psychosocial support from a multi-disciplinary team (psychologists, social workers, etc.) who receive regular training to ensure the quality of their work.

We raise community awareness of children's rights and work to reunite these children with their families whenever possible.

At the same time, we support the socio-professional integration of young people living on the streets by guiding them in their choice of profession and offering them vocational training courses, both long and modular. We organise internships, incubations, apprenticeships with craftsmen and accompany these young people in their professional integration (employment or self-employment).

Burundi

Our aim is to facilitate access to quality healthcare for rural and informal sector populations by developing the mutual movement at community, regional and national levels.

To achieve this, we work with our local partners to support community health mutuals. This involves support for the governance and structuring of 7 mutual health organisations in the north of the country, as well as support for the health sector to improve the quality of care for mutual members. The national and regional federations, which lead and support the mutual movement and contribute to the process of setting up mutual associations in health districts, have also been strengthened.

In addition, we are carrying out community awareness campaigns. The aim is to promote mutual health insurance to encourage families and groups (social economy initiatives) to join. Mutual health insurance schemes are also used to inform women about sexually transmitted diseases, and to run mass screening campaigns for breast and cervical cancer.
